Nightwish......Tarja, Anette or Floor?

Strangely, Dark Passion Play (with Anette) is my favourite Nightwish album, but Tarja has always been my favourite Nightwish singer. 

Tarja, Anette or Floor? Obviously:

duh

^ Doug loves it, but even he pointed out that the vocals are buried in the mix. In general, Nightwish is too "uneventful" for me. Last time I got interested was when they made this evolution themed album endorsed by Richard Dawkins. Big letdown musically. 

Nightwish ... never could develop a taste for them. Totally boring and uninventive. They're at least bearable with Floor on vocals.

for me Nightwish  was TARJA. Her voice was like a revolution  for my ears 

IMHO - The best albums to me are in Annette’s era, I rate Imaginarium very highly, but in terms of vocals both Tarya and Floor are better vocalists. There we area vote for each one.

Personally, I not only respect and acknowledge ALL 3 singers, but recognize the 3 different eras of the band. But, lets not forget the 2 different drummers (Jukka & Kai), or the 3 different bass guitarists (Sami, Marko & Jukkis). Plus since Tuomas is still the chief song/lyric composer in the band it goes without saying Nightwish is still thriving in 2024! The comparison is always between the 3 different lead singers, even tho the band has had several slight lineup changes over the years. The way I see it is: Tarja is/was the myth in the studio, Anette was the fairy the bridged Tarja & Floor, and Floor is the f**king live legend! All 3 have made Nightwish the band they are today!

I would too, what a treat that would be!  Although, we might have difficulty identifying which of the two is rendering the death-growls!

I think she actually had Devin sing a song with her on one of her albums before Nighwish (ReVamp I think was the name of that project), but it was actually rather ordinary. A whole collaboration album would be wonderful, specially if Devin was mostly in charge of writing the music.
